Dear Cindy - Transition from Hospital to Drug Development – 4/11/2012

I am an experienced nurse who would like to get out of the hospital setting. I’m thinking perhaps I’d like to work in drug development. Can you tell me where I should look?

Thanks,
RN Redding

Dear RN Redding:

You might investigate working for a contract research organization (CRO), which is what the biotech and pharmaceutical industries use to handle their drug development services, clinical research and clinical trials management on an outsourced basis.
